The J.R. Clancy Advantage

• Safety—The PowerAssist motor handles the out-of-balance load for you and you will no longer need to load and adjust the counterbalancing weights.
• Ease of Automation—PowerAssist single axis units are compact and easily installed under your exisiting locking rail. The winch takes the place of an existing floor block and rope lock and can be placed between two manual sets on 6” (152 mm) centers.
• Complete Control—All control stations are equipped with key operated switches so you can prevent unauthorized use. PowerAssist hoists can also be used with all J.R. Clancy control systems for advanced capabilities.
• Versatility—PowerAssist hoist operates at a speed of 25 fpm (0.13 m/s), with a system capacity of 0 – 2,000 lb (0 – 907 kg), without the need to adjust weights.
